10 UD Genuine Gear Oil

Your truck has to work in tough conditions: UD Genuine
Gear Oil provides the superior protection and lubrication
of gears needed for extreme environments, reducing
gear wear and extending lifetime.

Benefits:
• Reduces gear wear and extends the product lifetime;
• Contains extreme-pressure additives, effectively
absorbs impact, and ensures thorough coating of all
surfaces;
• Provides superior durability and foam-prevention
properties, and maintains stable, high-level performance.

Power from the diesel engine is transmitted via the transmission to the wheels. Inside
the transmission is a harsh environment in which the surfaces of the constantly rotating
gears are exposed to high pressure, heat and shock as they mesh.

To assist proper gear movement, it is important to have a gear oil that forms a layer of
lubrication on gear surfaces, which relieves pressure and shock, and can prevent wear
and burn-out. UD Genuine Gear Oil contains extreme-pressure additives to endure high
contact pressures. It has superior oxidation stability and the foam-resistance needed to
thoroughly protect gears operating in a harsh environment.

11 UD Genuine Long Life Coolant
UD Genuine Long Life Coolant prevents freezing and corrosion while providing
excellent cooling performance and longer intervals between changes. Specifically
formulated for the metals in your UD Truck’s engine.
Benefits:
• Long-lasting anti-corrosion protection for long operational life;
• Reduces damage to cooling system parts, cutting maintenance costs
Coolant is circulated within a truck’s liquid-cooled engine to absorb heat, with the
heat released by the radiator. Using pure water as a coolant can cause a variety
of damage, including freezing ruptures, rusting and corrosion inside the engine.
Long life coolants (LLCs) containing anti-freeze and anti-corrosion agents are used
to avoid these problems. Correct concentration levels must be maintained.
The Danger of Vapor Lock
Brake fluid deterioration can be dangerous.
Due to the high water absorbency of brake fluid, small amounts of moisture are
absorbed whenever the fluid is exposed to air in the reservoir tank. When brake
fluid is used for extended periods of time, it may also absorb a small amount of
sulphur from dissolved rubber parts.
When brake fluid start to contain these impurities, the boiling point will gradually
be lowered, making the fluid more susceptible to boiling. When this happens,
long periods of continuous braking may cause the brake fluid to boil and vaporise,
causing a loss of pressure within the brake line known as vapour lock-and poten-
tial brake failure.

UD Genuine Coolant is LLC-formulated specifically for the characteristics of

the metals used in UD Trucks engines, providing stable, long-term cooling and
protection from freezing and corrosion. A special blend of additives suppresses
cavitation impact damage caused by the bursting of bubbles that occur during
changes in coolant pressure, a major source of engine trouble. An anti-corrosion
additive with excellent thermal and oxidative stability delivers a strong anti-corro-
sion effect over a longer period of time.

12 UD Genuine Brake Fluid

Reliable transmission of braking force, thanks to a carefully
selected and tested fluid: UD Genuine Brake Fluid is ideally
suited for use in UD vehicles.

Benefits:
• Maintains a high boiling point over long periods of time;

The Importance of Periodic Replacement
Following specified replacement cycles is an important part of safe driving.
Many parts require periodic maintenance but it can be difficult to clearly deter-
mine the amount of deterioration of some parts simply by visual inspection. It is
for that reason that some parts are designated as periodic replacement parts and
should be replaced regularly in accordance with a maintenance schedule, which
is determined by time or total distance travelled. For your safety, it is strongly
recommend that you always follow the designated parts replacement schedule.
Brake Chambers
Why replacement is necessary
Over time, diaphragms, seals, boots, elbows and other internal rubber parts will
degrade, with increasing friction causing even further deterioration. Any foreign
objects that work their way into the chamber can also cause brake chamber
deterioration.
If it is not replaced…
Air leaks can cause malfunctions and brake drag. Brake drag can cause the drum
to overheat which can be extremely dangerous. The brake chamber piggyback
contains an extremely strong spring and disassembly can be dangerous.
Expanders
Why replacement is necessary
Expanders incorporate parts including rubber boots, grease, and springs - parts
that deteriorate over time. Wedges in particular have a high usage frequency and
are subject to high levels of friction, which can cause deterioration.
If it is not replaced…
Deterioration of grease can lead to internal expander wear or rust. If the part is
not replaced on schedule, smooth operation of the automatic gap adjustment or
wedge mechanisms can be hindered leading in some cases to the brakes pulling
to one side, brake dragging or inadequate braking force.
Air Dryers
Why replacement is necessary
Oil impurities in the air from air compressors and other sources can collect on
the surface of the drying agent, reducing drying performance. The drying agent
is also used up over time, as friction wears it into a powder that is gradually
discharged.
If it is not replaced…
If the drying agent deteriorates and no longer provides sufficient drying perfor-
mance, water can build up inside the air tank or air system, leading to rust inside
the air pipes. This rust can flake off and become lodged inside parts such as the
brake valves, which may lead to air leaks or other malfunctions.
